Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels?

The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink....

“We want to ensure that people have maximum control to the extent that it doesn’t violate the law or other peoples’ rights,” Joanne Jang, a member of the product team at OpenAI, told NPR. “There are creative cases in which content involving sexuality or nudity is important to our users.”

The other problem in my mind is the fallibility of current safeguards. OpenAI and rivals have been refining their filtering and moderation tools for years. But users constantly discover workarounds that enable them to abuse the companies’ AI models, apps and platforms.

Some highlights from the article.

It seems like AI porn is inevitable and OpenAI has safeguards in mind for exploitative content so it doesn't seem like a horrendous idea.

To find very specific content?

Am I the only one who finds this so weird when we talk about LLMs? If someone makes a bot that resembles some specific person, that person’s rights aren’t really violated, and since they’re all fictional content, it is very hard to break actual laws through its content. At that point we would have to also ban people’s weird fan fiction, no?

Not arguing about whatever they want or don’t want on their platform, but the legal & alleged moral questions / arguments always weird me out a bit, because there’s no one actually getting hurt in any sort of way by weirdos having weird chats with computers.

I could see some people making the argument that it could be considered defamatory especially in cases where it is being peddled as real. Politicians might even try to link it in with revenge porn or other non-consensual pornography laws.

It would sure get messy in a hurry though. Imagine someone trying to make lewd photos of Tomb Raider's Laura Croft for example and accidentally generates images resembling Alicia Vikander or Angelina Jolie from the Tomb Raider movie.

I recall some people using Akinator to find pornstars they might be interested so you might be onto something.

I feel like it's going to be a challenge to find a definition of malicious most people agree on.

Someone might think it's fine to make nudes of Captain Marvel for example because she's a character. They don't really care about the Brie Larson aspect.

I suppose there is the option to eliminate any kind of name based suggestions.

@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Really neat. I'll have to look up a video covering Deus Ex cut content later.

I've seen other articles about cut content regarding a space station that would have tied the series in with System Shock and a mission in the White House that was cut because it was too demanding.

I feel like hair dye for dogs must be a thing. Though it sounds like they used human hair dye on them.

If it didn't hurt them I'd think this is a little cute

CorrodedCranium ,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Yeah but I like to think I am a bit better about not ingesting hair care products through my eyes, nose, and mouth than a Schnauzer. Hopefully it was something non-toxic

Yeah I feel like it's similar to movies in a way. You can only push so much money and development into something before you start seeing diminishing returns.

Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape ( www.gamespot.com )

I don't think big companies know how to make a good FPS campaign anymore, let alone hone in on classic deathmatch multiplayer. The last FPS I bought was Half-Life: Alyx four years ago, and the first one to come along and interest me since then was Phantom Fury, but I'm letting that one iron out bugs for a few weeks before I...

It's like nostalgia blinders.

An example a lot of people here can relate to is thinking about game consoles and handhelds they played growing up like the GBA.

There were likely some great games produced for it but there was also a lot of shovelware movie tie-ins and horrendous ports that were misrepresented in advertisements.

CorrodedCranium ,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Any reason they are releasing it now instead of when the game or the show released?

CorrodedCranium ,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

That's unfortunate. A nice gesture but it's a bit late. Kind of like removing online DRM immediately before a game becomes abandonware.

I'd say most people who regularly vape probably do. A significant amount of them also vape indoors.

I used to and the smell didn't really cling to things and it didn't yellow the walls. I did notice little specs in an almost sneeze like pattern though.

For those that want some videos about MiniDics:

  • Here is a This Does Not Compute video about MiniDiscs.

  • Tech Moan has several videos covering all aspects of MiniDiscs. One can be found here.

It seems silly to me.

It's essentially rehashing the debate of people being more comfortable with violence than sexual content. A game can have someone getting vivisected with a shotgun and no one really cares but having full frontal nudity will end up with a game that has articles written about it.

From what I've heard Stellar Blade didn't have full frontal nudity or anything remotely close to that level but the outfits were toned down. I don't think it's really necessary especially when you can choose which outfit the protagonists wears.

I feel like this has been the norm for a while though with games getting released here in the west with women being less sexualized. I'm kind out of the loop about Stellar Blade so I'm not sure if it was censored globally.

CorrodedCranium ,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I think it depends on the developer. They might lump it in with other realism things like hair physics.

I think what OP is talking about is things being removed. It doesn't have much to do with optimising the game.

CorrodedCranium ,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I get that. I'm saying showing less thigh doesn't make the game run faster and developers might not view something like that as a waste.

... apparently boobs now.

I feel like jiggle physics has been around for just as long

I am curious how this is going to effect the number of active players. I know a lot of people who were trying to get me to play this saying it was here to stay and not a trend like a Lethal Company but I feel like this hurdle might be enough to get them to give up.

I definitely have a low level of tolerance for Russian nesting dolls of accounts and launchers.

This is on PC and unlike some other ported PS games I don't think there is an option to play offline I imagine a lot of people are going to be creating PSN accounts I'd say that's a hurdle for some people.

CorrodedCranium ,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

As I said in another comment I think it's more about people having to create another account.

I also don't know how or if PSN integration is going to impact matchmaking.

Two Chinese nationals charged in US with trying to export banned semiconductor machinery to China — one arrested in Chicago ( www.tomshardware.com )

Two Chinese nationals have been charged for an alleged scheme to illegally export a semiconductor dicing machine to a Chinese tech company. One of the two, Han Li, 44, was arrested in Chicago on Wednesday, while Lin Chen, 64, is believed to be in China. The charges and arrest are the latest developments in a protracted trade war...

I wonder how they got caught with all the tech that goes back and forth between the US and China.

It seems like the US was aware of their plans based off of the articles wording but I'd be curious to hear how they originally were flagged. I wonder if it was just for buying the DTX 150 Scribe and Break machine from Dynatex and possibly being Chinese citizens.

I also can't imagine Nintendo's next console not being a mobile one so I think there's definitely a market for a traditional stationary console.

@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Yeah it doesn't help that the Steam version would likely try to auto-update and I don't believe there is an easy way to downgrade.

I could be wrong about that latter point. There might be an option in the properties menu similar to how you can opt into betas.

I doubt it. Most people seem to regard Creation Club content as something different than regular mods. You can check out the content that's available here but a majority of it is closer to the paid skins found in online games than what people typically associate with modding and meaningfully altering a game.

I think Bethesda knows this and most people looking to mod Fallout 4 are probably going to continue working with what's available.

That reminds me of when people would enter a keyboard combination to flip the screen of the computers at school. I think the IT department ended up removing those computers.
